What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay revisit their very first DIY animatronic — a full-size Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime — and rebuild it from the ground up three years later. The original build, constructed from PVC pipe, a wiper motor, and blue fur, suffered from balance issues, a loose head, and overall fragility. Drawing on lessons learned from numerous animatronic builds since then, the duo overhauls Huggy's structure, stability, and appearance. The result is a dramatically improved version that reflects how far their skills have progressed.
Key takeaways
- ◆The original Huggy Wuggy animatronic was built with PVC pipe, a wiper motor, and blue fur but had serious structural flaws
- ◆Three years and many animatronic builds later, the creators apply hard-won knowledge to fully remake the prop
- ◆Key problem areas addressed include poor balance, an unreliable head connection, and overall fragility
- ◆The rebuild also updates Huggy's look to reflect design changes from newer Poppy Playtime chapters
- ◆The video serves as both a makeover showcase and an implicit lessons-learned retrospective on DIY animatronic construction
Who this is for

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
